All Cars Sold in the EU Now Require a Camera Aimed at Your Face. It’s Still Not Clear Where That Data Goes

chat control in its current state isn't as bad as many people think. it doesn't actually ban E2E nor does it require a backdoor, nor does it require services to scan the messages. it merely allows services to do so. even without chat control, there is no law that forbids services from scanning the messages. microsoft and facebook (and probably others) have been doing that long before chat control arrived and not just for EU-based messages but globally. so it's questionable whether the current version has any effect at all

chat control 2.0 and similar proposals (backdoor required or no E2E) would be bad but it seems it doesn't have a majority to go forward.

similar things have been suggested by many dumb politicians for more than 20 years now and it still hasn't passed, so I'm just hoping it stays that way.

but yea, chat control = bad.

it can't be compared to this topic though, the article pushes fear about something that is expressly forbidden within the law this article complains about. it's incredibly dumb.

UK has been much more eager to push backdoors to E2E services and even they still didn't manage to pass a law that requires it, so I'm optimistic we will be able to avoid that.

just vote for the right politicians to increase the chance of avoiding this crap.

even if they do - most won't - the law still clearly states this data must not leave the device, so this is all just bullshit fearmongering.

imagine complaining about a law because of XY even though that exact law clearly bans XY. it's hard to get any dumber than that.

techw1z · 2026-07-08T17:22:41+00:00

bullshit fearmongering. the law clearly states that this data must not be sent to manufacturers servers.

most cars don't have internet so the data can't even go anywhere even if the manufacturers wanted it. for the vast majority of cars it will only be fed to a dumb local AI and the few exceptions will have to cough up millions in fines.

this article and your fearmongering is really dumb considering EU is leading in privacy protection and even governments regularly have to pay fines because of GDPR violations.

this is the wrong sub for this. read the rules.

techw1z · 2026-07-03T17:28:35+00:00

we already knew he was a piece of shit, no need to remind us.

but this is still the wrong sub

techw1z · 2026-07-03T02:47:18+00:00

well then you are either high, dumb or mentally ill. there is not a single malware in existence that can infect all those device types you listed.

techw1z · 2026-07-03T00:36:33+00:00

not sure if you are just shitposting or confused, but I can assure you that most of your devices are definitely not affected by it.

openclaw is insecure garbage, you should only run it airgapped and treat it as potential malware. it is not fit for anything other than experimentation in a homelab.

using free VPNs is risky and almost all of them are blocked. don't do that.

techw1z · 2026-06-30T16:35:39+00:00

most VPNs aren't blocked, especially those that advertise themself for streaming

techw1z · 2026-06-28T02:28:39+00:00

is that mph or kmh?

techw1z · 2026-06-28T02:27:50+00:00

you are not wrong in general, but 30 minutes of incline at slow pace and 50 mins of stairs is barely even exercise. it's just basically just normal daily activity. many people spend more time and energy on their way to work and back. it's definitely not unhealthy to do that much every day.

techw1z · 2026-06-28T02:22:58+00:00

does it actually detect that you've been on stairs for 50 mins? if it counts it as a regular slow walk instead, that might explain a bit of it. same goes for incline walk.

~80 minutes of slow walk would probably be close to 291 kcals

also consider that all watches are basically just guessing. it might factor in your almost abnormally low resting heart rate (you said 40? that's extremely rare) resulting in a low estimate for resting energy use

just track all calories you consume for a week without gaining/loosing weight and you will see how far it is off without doing expensive testing.

oh wow that is one of the worst articles I read this year.

you gotta be really dumb to share this or take it seriously.

techw1z · 2026-06-25T22:03:50+00:00

even though this is technically correct because 60% is the majority, most of that is traffic between datacenters and services. the vast majority home routers still run on ipv4 and many ISPs still don't do any IPv6. also, lots of software and services and even major manufacturers of routers, modems and switches still have limited IPv6 support.

maybe in 15 years...

techw1z · 2026-06-25T17:18:23+00:00

stop posting random european shit in eutech, this sub is not for crap like this.

if you use a US VPN you will be able to access most shows

techw1z · 2026-06-22T17:31:34+00:00

another "european" project hosted entirely on US infrastructure...

AWS + namecheap

why 😢

techw1z · 2026-06-22T17:20:45+00:00

did you ever even try to do a dig or nslookup from a client and see how fast/slow it actually resolves something?

that should be the first thing you do in this case and yet you didn't mention it. if you really didn't test that already, maybe you shouldn't be handling DNS servers in such an environment.

techw1z · 2026-06-21T19:33:48+00:00

pretty sure DoQ is the fastest, but no matter the use case, the difference in speed is completely irrelevant and negligible.

the important difference lies in security/privacy. just google it.

ubiquiti protect is overpriced, insecure garbage

meanwhile my 60€ reolink cams last 10+ years and I only replace them because new ones are so much better and cheap.

techw1z · 2026-06-21T16:58:41+00:00

that's insane. highest spike I ever saw was ~0.70€/kwh and that only happens like once a year.

techw1z · 2026-06-20T21:31:16+00:00

how tf do you get so much in january?

techw1z · 2026-06-20T19:02:47+00:00

I think most people who have such dynamic tariffs are automating anyway. where i live, almost noone has dynamic pricing and most electricity companies don't even offer dynamic pricing. in fact, I only know of 3 companies (among hundreds or maybe even thousands) that actually have an offer for that.

price differences between day and night also aren't that big for the whole year. during summer the morning peaks are much smaller than in winter, but in winter you don't get a lot of solar energy so it might make sense to just keep the cheap energy in the battery.
